DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're treated with a solid seven-game slate tonight and there are a variety of different ways you can go with your builds. Giannis and Jokic are in their own stratosphere in terms of salary, so you'll very likely need to pick one or the other unless a ton of value opens up throughout the day. […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/11/22)

Coming off a strong showing on Wednesday (5-2 and nearly 6-1 if not for the darn Celtics being unable to score one more basket in the final three minutes of an easy win!), I'm ready to get back at it with a solid 10-game Friday night slate! I did a weird thing yesterday - I […]

Tre Mann Sitting Out On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been playing more minutes lately with Josh Giddey (hip) and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) sidelined. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be asked to do basically everything on offense with the Thunder shorthanded. Lindy Waters III and Theo Maledon […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/9/22)

When you take a stand on games early in the day, sometimes the late injury news works out in your favor and sometimes it bites you. I was counting on Nikola Vucevic playing for Chicago on Monday night, but he didn't suit up and the Bulls failed to cover against the red-hot Sixers. We did […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 21: Lonnie Walker IV, Jaxson Hayes, Patrick Beverley, Duncan Robinson

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Ty Jerome Won't Play Again This Season

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of the regular season. He'll join teammate Luguentz Dort (shoulder) on the sideline for the rest of the year. Jerome hasn't played since February 16 and didn't have a timetable in sight. That being said, the Thunder have elected to shut […]

Luguentz Dort To Miss The Rest Of The Season

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for the rest of the regular season. The young guard underwent surgery to address a labrum tear in his left shoulder. The organization is hopeful that Dort can make it back in time to play at the beginning of next season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! The Association has six games on the schedule for the early portion of the week, with some surprising matchups to watch for an early March evening. First, Brooklyn versus Charlotte has the chance of being a playoff preview. Meanwhile, the surging Pelicans visit the newest apple of the national media's eye in […]

Isaiah Roby Questionable For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He dropped 21 points and 10 rebounds on Friday, but missed action after that. Hopefully this lingering back issue won't cause him to miss anymore time. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider streaming Roby, assuming he's […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 20 - Gordon Hayward, Nikola Vucevic, D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jarrett Allen

Going to get this out early for you all since it's fantasy playoffs season and you need to maximize your moves NOW rather than later. Get all the information at your fingertips, courtesy of the Rotoballer crew! If you missed it last week, I covered EVERYTHING. So, in this, I'll just cover what has changed since last […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/6/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have yet another five-game slate on a weekend night in the NBA, which is just fine by me. The Grizzlies are the only team that's entering tonight on the second half of a back-to-back set, but they're also the top-rated team in my model with their matchup against the hapless Rockets. The Pelicans-Nuggets game […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Continues Scoring Deluge Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander owns the unique fantasy position of having offensive carte blanche for the remainder of the 2021-22 season. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Josh Giddey (hip) currently sidelined, Gilgeous-Alexander was once again the focal point during Friday's blowout loss to the Timberwolves, but he still managed to compile 33 […]

Friday nights in the NBA are where it's at! There's nothing better than being welcomed to the weekend by a big old 9-game slate. To recap last night's picks it was an overall loss mainly due to player props. The Hawks pulled off the upset to kick things off, but the Grizzlies weren't able to […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/4/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/2/22)

Things didn't quite go my way on Monday as I missed both spread bets and my total, but I was saved by both player props cashing and we forge ahead to another slate tonight undaunted. MLB fans got some bad news yesterday (and MLB content creators like myself, too) but the good news is we […]

Luguentz Dort Not Available On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the sixth game in a row that Dort has missed due a left shoulder sprain. The Thunder haven't given a timetable for his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Dort to return anytime soon. In […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 19 - Ben Simmons, Darius Garland, Josh Giddey, OG Anunoby, Michael Porter Jr., Chris Paul

We're now entering fantasy playoffs time for NBA basketball, so you should be double-checking things regardless. There's no room for mistakes when you're up for a 'ship. I've lost matchups by a few steals or a few rebounds in the last few seasons, for example. That's the margin. No errors! Since the stakes are high, […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Bruce Brown, Onyeka Okongwu, Raul Neto, Corey Kispert, Grant Williams

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 19: Isaiah Jackson, Oshae Brissett, Chuma Okeke, Brandon Goodwin

Did you all miss me for a week? I bet you did. Even though you can't tell me through this computer screen, I'm sure you did. We're back though, and some leagues will be starting their FANTASY BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS this week while others will be jockeying for playoff positioning. I have two leagues entering playoffs […]

Aaron Wiggins Forced Out Of Monday's Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aaron Wiggins (ankle) was unable to finish out Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Wiggins was only able to play nine minutes before exiting the game and being unable to return due to an ankle issue. Vit Krejci started in the second half in place Wiggins on Monday. He'll likely pick […]

Josh Giddey To Miss Significant Time

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (hip) is not expected to be back on the court anytime soon. Head coach Mark Daigneault said Giddey's injury is not a day-to-day issue and he is likely to miss time. This is certainly frustrating with the fantasy playoffs right around the corner. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will see his usage […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/28/22)

Saturday ended up being a 2-2 finish with the Grizzlies pulling out a big win late against the Bulls and the Heat-Spurs game going well over its total. I whiffed on the Cavs game total and the Raptors had my hopes up after they took a five-point lead in the first quarter, only to get […]

Luguentz Dort Remains Out Versus Kings

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This marks his fifth game in a row that he has missed due to a shoulder issue. Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should see increased usage without Dort on the court. Also, Tre Mann is a decent […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/27/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a small five-game slate to work with tonight as the NBA decided to go with a trio of afternoon matchups that fall outside of the main slate. It's not going to be an easy slate to dissect as three of the games (Nuggets-Blazers, Pistons-Hornets, Clippers-Rockets) hold solid, if unspectacular, implied totals while the […]

Tre Mann (PG/SG, OKC): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Would you guess who these two players are? Player A: 17 MPG, 7-2-1 per-game line, 19% USG. Player B: 29 MPG, 14-2-2-1 per-game line, 23% USG. Welp, that's the very same Tre Mann, only splitting his season in two stints before and […]

Luguentz Dort Ruled Out Versus Pacers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Dort has missed due to a shoulder issue. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey will continue to see increased usage while Dort is sidelined. Also, Tre Mann has stepped […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. However, this is going to be quite the weird slate with multiple incomplete active rosters after yesterday's trade deadline. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger […]

Luguentz Dort Not Available Against Suns

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He missed each of the last two games before the All-Star break due to a shoulder strain. Luckily, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is returning on Thursday, so the Thunder will have some reinforcements. Josh Giddey should continue to […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returning On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will make his return to the court on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He has not played since late January and should have minute restrictions. That being said, he won't be the best bet for DFS contests on Thursday. The Thunder are likely to ease Gilgeous-Alexander back into […]

Buy-Low, Sell-High, NBA Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Two, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs, which is maybe not as obvious if you don't play the game, but that's likely why you're reading this article in the […]
